“Old Senator” tree in the motel parking lot

The location was good for us. We picked it specifically because the “Old Town Trolley” tours stopped in the motel parking lot. This is the way to tour old town as parking is limited everywhere in the city. Our rooms seemed clean, though we did see one cockroach in one of the two rooms. Their complimentary breakfast was good. The area was kept clean and food items refilled as needed.

Great location. We were upgraded to a large, 'deluxe' room with a nicely appointed bathroom and big, comfy bed. Breakfast was good, parking was convenient and pool area clean. Floors, windows and doors could have been cleaner.

The rooms were clean thank god. The outside is really dirty looking they could use a little pressure washing or something. i booked 2 rooms and I received my deposit back on one room right away. It’s been 5 days that they have held my 2nd deposit. The initial check in staff was not as friendly as they should have been. Overall it could use a little improvement it was just ok.

At first glance, it looks great. But the detail to cleanliness and the need to replace worn out and dirty things (the window shade is hideous and the entry door looks like the same one from when the place was built. There is peeling paint, scuff marks, extremely dirty areas on doors at the touch points and the toilet is mounted in a crooked manner and the caulking job on the floor looks like it was done by a blind handyman. The aerator in the bathroom faucet was missing ...probably used in a previous occupants crack pipe. Wire coat hangers in the wardrobe and the mattress needs replacing. The refrigerator was a few degrees below room temperature. Just not what we expected from the few pictures on the booking site and $130 a night. All was not lost, I liked the clock on the night stand and the free breakfast was ok but definitely not enough seating for a high occupancy place.

The staff were very nice, the room had some upgrades done. But some of the work needed to be redone. The bathroom sink new and modern but used a piece of wood to cover the plumbing. The shower and some base board was meldew.

The property is old, very unique and quaintly charming. They tried to update amenities; paint, flooring, updated bathroom. However, it still felt a little "trashy". Despite that, we'd probably stay again.

Staff is lovely, Allowed us to check in a couple hours early. Unfortunately the room could have used some additional cleaning attention. Some makeup stains on the pillow cases and the floor was filthy. We realized this because we took our sandals off when we got into the room and were walking in our bare feet… the undersides were completely black. A good scrub with a clean mop is all that’s needed to fix that issue.

The Kleenex box in the bathroom was dusty, the bottom shelf on the cabinet where you put your clothes was dusty, lights were unplugged the clock not set, the small refrigerator wasn’t stable. All the chairs by the big tree in the middle of the courtyard had no cushions.

Very good location on general. However, the hotel was more like a motel. Room I reserved and paid for was approximately 100 square feet less than expected. You had to walk around the building to a breakfast area that was run down and basically dirty. I did not eat breakfast there at all. Also room was not renovated to any extent. Don't go by the pictures at all. Any way, just an average motel that happens to be within walking distance to just about everything, including the trolley station.
